THE WRONG KIND OF PERFECT

She redesigned his building. She never planned to redesign her life.

When Gemma Sinclair lands the biggest contract of her career—transforming the executive floor of a Chicago high-rise—the last thing she expects is to fall for the quiet, sharp-eyed man who shadows her site visits.

He says he works in operations.

He hands her coffee exactly how she takes it, asks the right questions, and makes her feel, for the first time in six years, as though she does not have to be careful.

Gemma has every reason to be cautious. She changed her name, built her design studio through word of mouth, and kept her distance from everyone who might connect her to the powerful family she walked away from.

What she does not know is that Tristan Burke is not merely an operations manager.

He is the hidden heir to Burke Holdings—and the man preparing to inherit the company that owns the building she is redesigning.

Tristan has spent eighteen months hiding behind a nameless badge while proving himself under the terms of his late father’s will. But one final condition stands between him and control of the company:

He must be married before the board votes.

When Gemma’s visa crisis collides with Tristan’s inheritance deadline, the solution appears simple on paper.

A marriage of convenience.

A fixed end date.

Mutual protection.

No emotional complications.

Except Gemma is the daughter of the man trying to do business with Tristan’s company. The work she has created on his floor is the most honest thing anyone has built for him in years. And the end date is beginning to feel like the worst decision either of them ever made.

Now a December board vote threatens to expose both of their secrets—and turn Gemma’s hard-earned work into part of another powerful family’s legacy.

Two people. Two hidden identities. One floor plan. And a marriage that is becoming far too real to end.
